Third-party server, listed as discovered. Review its source before installing.
16 of 16 tool(s) carry no readOnlyHint/destructiveHint annotations.
Annotate read-only tools with {"readOnlyHint": true}. Agents and gateways can then run them without a confirmation prompt, and route around destructive ones.
Negotiates MCP 2024-11-05. Structured output, tool output schemas and elicitation arrived in 2025-06-18.
Upgrade the MCP SDK and negotiate 2025-06-18 or newer.
Reachable 98.8% of the time over the last 30 days; median recovery 7 min.
Agents fail over to an alternative the first time a call fails. Add health checks and restart-on-failure, and avoid cold starts on serverless hosts.
Handshake + tools/list takes ~5,253 ms.
Serve tools/list from memory, keep the process warm, and host close to your users. Every new agent session pays this before its first call.
No tool declares an outputSchema.
Declare outputSchema and return structuredContent (MCP 2025-06-18+). Agents can then parse results without guessing, and chain tools reliably.
Paste-ready definitions with the problems above fixed. Changes marked verify need a human look. All of them as JSON: /v1/readiness/mcp-registry%2Fio.github.nyuchi%2Fmukoko-news/fixes

Glimind scanned all 16 tool definitions for tool-poisoning patterns — hidden or invisible characters, instructions that override the model, concealment from the user, requests to read credential or MCP config files, conversation exfiltration and cross-tool shadowing — and found none. This checks what the server tells the model, not what its code does; review the source before granting access to sensitive data.
